If I could give a 0/5 I would. As a young female, purchasing a gun can be rather intimidating. I own guns, I know the basics. However, I know that I’m not necessarily versed in the subject. I went to this Academy twice and was actually ignored the first time I walked up to the gun counter. Because of convenience, I decided to try going by again. I understand that people have bad days. The second time, the man behind the counter decided to help another gentleman that was standing beside me before helping me.. even though I had be waiting longer. He gave me a few guns to hold but I had already caught the vibe that he didn’t really care if I bought a gun that fit me and my needs or really even if I bought a gun at all. After holding a few I chose one that I felt would work for me. It was when we went to do the paperwork that he actually started talking to me like I was dumb. I told him, I’ve never had to do this before so can you please explain what you need. And please know it wasn’t anything he said, it was the tone and the look on his face. I didn’t have everything he needed so I just told him I’d be back. But I won’t. I’ll never be back. Instead, I purchased one at Bass Pro! And I will be sure to tell everyone how poorly I was treated and will be referring all of my friends to Bass Pro.
I picked up a curbside order. Didnt have to wait long. Very friendly associate that brought out my order. Verification process is really secure.
Like all the Dallas Cowboys clothes and gear. Also- they have a pretty good selection of Womens Adidas and other casual/sporting wear. Great selection of kids shoes also.
I went to find a shoulder brace. They didnt have one in my size. There was large and medium. I definitely thought of all places they would have it for all sizes. Not all people are medium and large. And they only had one of each. They sell baseball stuff, football stuff, golf stuff. All things that can deal with a shoulder injury. So what?????
Bought a 22 pump action 22 rifle from Academy for grandsons birthday. He used $100 of his birthday money to help towards the $300 purchase price. When we got it home he discovered he didn’t have the strength to pump it. Called Academy and they said they don’t take returns or exchanges. Spoke with District manager Jose who said we just caught him and he said no problem they would allow an exchange and he would notify the front. Just bring it back. We immediately got everything together and went back to Academy. After getting there they refused to exchange. I will never purchase anything from Academy again. I will use someplace that is customer friendly. Their customer service is severely lacking.
Wide variety of all sporting equipment and clothing. Staff is very helpful. But, I find most items pricey compared to same products in different store or online.
Picked up outdoor play set, that was ordered on line. Guys that brought it out were friendly/courteous, checked ID, loaded up in back of truck.
I am Biased as this is my favorite Man Store. Always has everything I need. Everything from shoes to fitness to my fishing and BBQ Wood and BBQ tools. Usually has Ammo as well when I need it. This seemed like it was a new store but honestly they all look that way to me. Only thing I can ding them on in my hometown of San Antonio is its hard to get someone on the phone. Cant speak for this location...Love Academy!!
Always have positive experiences with this store. Helpful staff. Excellent service. Lots of merchandise to browse and quality products. Highly recommended for your sporting goods and workout needs.
Had a great shopping experience. Great selection of camping gear and the miniature display tents are very helpful! Will shop here again.
Always a great experience at this location with fairly priced items available. Staff is helpful when needed, I was approached by staff passing by or as I passed by asking if I needed any help or if I were looking for anything in particular. Some would probably be annoyed about that but I appreciate that from people in this type of employment. It shows they care about what they do and appreciate the job and its customers!
Slow checkout, no golf umbrellas. Polite sale-people. That was nice.
Overpriced, very uncomfortable but expensive tennis shoes that fell apart after the first 100 miles, but young, vivacious and friendly staff are very responsive and available. The place was deserted on a Saturday evening.
I was able to find me some steel toe shoes for a reasonable price. I love them my feet doesnt hurt there comfortable trust me. Will be back there to buy me another pair Asap
The nicest and most helpful people working. Also a great selection of Name Brands and Shoes
Always love Academy, am I right! 😁 No ammo for my 243 😪.. its hunting season people!!
Store very neat and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful when asked. VERY few of the new (highly advertised womens sketchers but i did find my boots.
They were having a clearance on shoes and got, sandals, Sperrys and some good tennis shoes for under $65 total
Very good customer service! Everyone I have dealt with has been friendly and very helpful.
Great place found everything I needed cashier was very nice and helpful
I like shopping here but the check out line is pretty much always really long
Was able to find what I needed, but wouldve been nice to have someone in the area I was in help with more information. Was purchasing a swimming life vest for my 6 year old who doesnt know how to swim.
Hunting and fishing have no knowledge, no game! The shoe depot and cashiers sigh and roll there eyes! I will not ever spend another dime or waste my time in your horrible staffed store!!!
Ppl are always Nice their..Didnt find what I needed but say alot of Great things to come back & get😍💯💯
I purchased 6 pair of men shorts to match short sleeve shirts purchased from another store. I have as well purchased the 7/8 length capri workout pants for $9.99 but they are now $19.99. where did the price increase come from?
Sales good quality merchandise. Friendly staff and good location.
Gun dept very rude, when asking to look at a particular gun, they act like your bothering them, take your money to bass pro
They have everything that I needed everyone was so friendly and the place are so clean.
We got a good deal on ASICS shoes.
I love the fact that I can go to one store to get all of the swimming items that I need thats floaties life vest swimsuit games for the water Etc
No fishing pole thT i wantec
Yes its a great place to shop for a variety of things. However the customer service I received was very unprofessional and uncalled for. The older employee with the potty mouth that works the gun department needs a leave of absence without pay for being disrespectful toward me. I didnt appreciate it at all and the situation should be handled accordingly!
I wonder why they didnt have any AR15s in stock
Had patio umbrella I needed, price reasonable, friendly employees, and cashier very helpful as well,miss Arizona i believe her name
I like Academy. The have good quality stuff but u wont find many big and tall clothes. I got socks from there, washed them once and now my 10 year old daughter wears them. Lmao
Im always able to find exactly what i came to get. Store is always clean and staff is always friendly.
Great place. Clean store, big selection of shoes
Need a better way to control the sale of ammunition, so that the same people cannot buy it all over and over
WONDERFUL PLACE TO SHOP.
Place was extremely clean well lit store shelves were a little on the bear side
I placed an order online and was able to get curbside service the next day.
Idk what is going on with academy lately but it seems like every time I go into one their guns and ammo section is completely empty and their fishing section is at best half empty. Maybe theyre switching to an exercise, camping and clothing only store?
Found just what I was looking for, and customer service was excellent.
Great store! Always greeted! Friendly helpful staff! Good deals on shoes!
Do not get the credit card from Academy they do not send the statements out and then they try to charge you late fees and I paid for the stuff right away!!! Dont do it they are HORRIBLE
Always fun looking for shoes, great staff and environment
Nice.. Everything was on sale..Bought some new Nikes.
Was greeted at the entrance and asked if I needed any assistance. This store is clean, well organized, and the staff is friendly (towards each other and customers) and willing to assist with any shopping or pick-up issues/questions.
The service was very helpful. They asked if I needed assistance multiple times which is way better than none. Overall was a great experience. Ill definitely be back
The Academy Sports store in Shreveport is huge, and it offers a wide variety of merchandise. This particular store has a good selection, but there are a few items that are limited in color and style. But, overall, this store is a good place to shop for the avid sportsman.
I had stop by there and wanted to buy some gym pants. The young lady that was stocking the candy shelves was very helpful when I asks her for some help in choosing the pants.
Got everyone in the family something today. Good deals!
Went into the store not too long ago. One worker really stood out because of how rude she was. I think the ladys name was Carla... They also seemed very understaffed. Hire nice people this time.
Placed an online order. It was at my car within 5 minutes of checking in. 👍
Only pair of wrestling/boxing shoes they had were a 9.5... Munchkin Land
Found what I need nice customer service
2 1/2 hours to pick up an online purchase
Not so good! This cold weather has been forcast in ample time for Academy to stock up on propane bottles. Oops your are out! Not so good!
I asked for assistance from one of the sales ladies and she immediately helped me. One of the items I needed was no longer available in my size, but she had it ordered. She did not leave until the transaction was completed. Thanks for such good service.
Nice Academy store. I rarely give 5 star reviews
They have things there that other stores dont have. Anything related to sports is here! Including clothing for any sport. Its fun just to look at what they have.
Great customer serive
Awesome, great friendly folks.
Is great shoe selection
School uniforms not being offered this year at this location.. Online only
Friendly staff Line moves quick when busy. Lots of goodies. Prices high on a lot of things but overall great store.
This chain store has a department for every sport, each with a variety of name brands and an excellent selection within each of those. The lowest prices to boot and always good service. Employees are on the floor ready to help a customer.
Over all good experience
Great shopping experience wonderful customer service recommend anyone
Friendly service and helpful.
The store was very clean. The staff that I encountered were quite friendly. I asked a gentleman (Pat), who seemed to be taking inventory on some items in the firearms and ammunition section, if he could tell me where to find the silicone rings that they used to carry. He stopped what he was doing and made eye contact with me and explained where they were located thoroughly. I found them with ease. Unfortunately, it seems that although they had several boxes on display...a number of them had been stolen and an empty box left hanging in its place. I dunno if this should be a redesign in packaging from the Qalo supplier or maybe a security device needed by the store. But I feel it speaks more to people than the store.
I liked the old store more than this one . Shoe set is nonsensical. Rather than put all mens and boys shoes in one general area and women and girls shoes in an adjacent area. They in their wisdom decided to mix all womens and mens sneakers in one area. Then mix men and womens casual shoes in another area. Work shoes mixed in another area. You have to go from one end of the store to the opposite end to see all the mens shoes. Same for women. Gun counter has been crowded into a small one way in and out corner. Less ammo than at the old store and less accessories. Color me not impressed.
I didnt but anything but the CSRs were really nice.
I absolutely LOVE shopping at Academy. Great prices and a variety of goods to choose from
Kala was very kind and helpful.
Excellent help from store personnel
I really enjoyed visiting Academy Sports.The employees are very helpful & friendly.
Everything to enjoy the great outdoors is here, but at a great price.
Great store. Selections are always good.
Good place to go to get you sport stuff. I like their fishing supplies.
Excellent selection of baseball equipment.Store is easy to find and the place is ready to navigate.
Great prices and they have remodeled and moved things around and made it alot better.
It was cool couldnt find my size in some shoes but I still purchased something.
Once again always find things on a list of Cool I want list, not need list. But thats my own fault. Found more than what was necessary, only downside my wife was looking for a new handgun, but inventory was low due to our troubled times people are making this world into. 🐂💩
Good Service .
They have few employees that like to chit chat while checking customers out and forget other customers are in line. Please if u gonna half convo’s while checking us out try do both at same time. Be versatile. Store clean staff friendly
Great long however moved at rapid steady pace all is well at my academy Sports on Bert Joins 71118
I enjoy shopping here, I would suggest shopping here to family and friends as well.
I was beginning to get frustrated trying to buy a depth finder and there were no associates. I went to the grilling section and a guy helped me. I cant say enough good about this guy, awesome customer service.
Never seem to have what we are looking for and employees have zero interest in assisting customers
I placed a pick up order and they were extremely helpful and fast service!
Not a very large selection of jeans or boots. Which was the sole reason I even went into the store.
Wow! What a change. Everyone was so friendly and the cash register set up now, I feel, is much better. More organized.
